- Vitamin C is essential to the body’s production of collagen and the formation of blood vessels, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and skin. It is needed for wound healing and to repair tissues throughout the body. R-Lipoic Acid (as the highly bioavailable sodium R-lipoate) supports the action of vitamin C. It is a potent antioxidant that can cross the blood-brain barrier, support healthy mitochondrial function, and help the body remove metals.

Why Quicksilver
With oral dosing of conventional vitamin C, absorption decreases due to gastrointestinal saturation, or “bowel tolerance.” For this reason, Dr. Chris Shade developed Quicksilver Liposomal Vitamin C w/ R-Lipoic Acid to enable effective, high-level dosing. In addition, the formula uses Quali®-C, a premium “buffered” vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbate. Buffered vitamin C is generally better tolerated by those with gastrointestinal sensitivity. In turn, sodium R-lipoate can reach peak plasma concentrations in ten to twenty minutes.
